Louis Jordan - Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens Lyrics
One night farmer Brown,Was takin' the airs,Locked up the barnyardWith the greatest of careDown in the henhouseSomethin' stirredWhen he shouted "Who's there?"This is what he heard:There ain't nobody here but us chickensThere ain't nobody here at allSo calm yourself,And stop your fussThere ain't nobody here but usWe chickens tryin' to sleep,And you butt inAnd hobble, hobble hobble hobbleWith your chinThere ain't nobody here but us chickensThere ain't nobody here at allYou're stompin' aroundAnd shakin' the ground,You're kickin' up an awful dustWe chicken's tryin' to sleepAnd you butt inAnd hobble, hobble hobble hobbleIt's a singTomorrowIs a busy dayWe got things to doWe got eggs to layWe got ground to digAnd worms to scratchIt takes a lot of settin'Gettin' chicks to hatchThere ain't nobody here but us chickensThere ain't nobody here at allSo quiet yourself,And stop your fussThere ain't nobody here but usKindly point that gun,The other wayAnd hobble, hobble hobble of andHit the hayINSTRUMENTALTomorrowIs a busy dayWe got things to doWe got eggs to layWe got ground to digAnd worms to scratchIt takes a lot of settin'Gettin' chicks to hatchThere ain't nobody here but us chickensThere ain't nobody here at allSo quiet yourself,And stop your fussThere ain't nobody here but usKindly point that gun,The other wayAnd hobble, hobble hobble of andHit the haySHOUTED:"Hey boss manWhat do ya say?"It's easy pickens,Ain't nobody here but us chickens
